jim,
thanks for responding. must have been a little late bleary looking at this problem.

in any event, what are your settings? if you look at the code:

Code:
	if(USU_FORMAT == 'parent' && USU_CATEGORY_DIR == 'off') {
	   $pName = $this->get_category_name($cID !== null ? $cID : (int)$result->fields['master_id'], 'original') . '-' . $pName;
	}
you will not hit this problem unless USU_FORMAT is set to parent and USU_CATEGORY_DIR is set to off.

i was able to get around this problem by modifying the code to:

Code:
	if(USU_FORMAT == 'parent' && USU_CATEGORY_DIR == 'off') {
	    $tempMID = ($cID !== null ? $cID : $result->fields['master_id']);
	    $pName = $this->get_category_name($tempMID, 'original') . '-' . $pName;
	}
curious if anyone else has experienced this?

thanks.
